Marine Harvest North Div 2

-

Lochside’s Lewis Buchanan opens the scoring against Aberdour at Mossfield last Saturday in a game the red and blacks won 3-0.

There was a sign of things to come on five minutes when Roddy MacColl made a great save to deny Ross Campbell.

Lochside did go ahead on 30 minutes though. A Scott Robertson corner came over the top and broke to Lewis Buchannan who made enough space around the penalty spot and sent a wellstruck, head-height shot past an unsighted MacColl in the Aberdour goal.

Lochside continued to play well for the reminder of the half but lacked an end product.

Roddy MacColl saved a 30 yard Daniel MacCuish shot with his chest just a couple of minutes into the second half.

Lennon Campbell made on 60 minutes.

Ross Campbell did well, closing down the Aberdour defence to prevent them clearing their lines and he won possession before setting up Lennon Campbell to score.

The hosts made it 3-0 a couple of minutes later when referee Graham Cameron awarded them a penalty after Ross Campbell had been barged in the back. Michael MacQueen made no mistake from the spot.

Aberdour were never out of the game and came close to pulling a goal back when David MacKenzie volleyed a rebound over following a Cameron Sutherland save.

Lochside introduced Craig MacDougall to shore things up and, with Daniel Sloss and Ross Campbell catching the eye along with full back Jack Rippon, they looked the sharper side and were worthy winners.

it 2-0 Bute had to battle all the way to eventually overcome a determined Kilmory side 3-2 at MacRae Park.

The match was originally to take place at The Meadows but was reversed on Friday giving the islanders two away fixtures.

A spectacula­r Alister MacArthur volley got Kilmory off to a great start with a goal after just two minutes.

Iain MacDonald made it 1-1 on eight minutes.

Bute’s Robert Walker, who missed the defeat to Col Glen the previous week, scored twice for the visitors on 39 and 43 minutes, to leave them 3-1 ahead at the turnaround.

Andy Cunningham made it 3-2, finishing well on 70 minutes but Bute stayed in front to take both points. Col Glen go second in the division after they came from a goal down to beat Ballachuli­sh 3-1 at Jubilee Park.

Neither team could break the deadlock during the first 45 minutes. However Pat MacLean put Ballachuli­sh ahead three minutes into the second half.

Conor Kennedy drew Col Glen level on 62 minutes and Jamie MacVicar on 70 minutes and Willie MacVicar on 84 minutes completed the 3-1 win.
